Oysters (past and present) are just the coolest! Fossil oysters help us learn about past environments, and modern oysters provide food, wave energy protection, habitat, and more! #fossil

Agreed! 😀

@jeanette-pirlo is working on preparing this gomphothere tusk still encased in a jacket. It’s slow going, because some of the softer parts must be stabilized by glue as she works. #fossil #method

@hunter-thurmond and @nathan-newell, any suggestions for fossil hunting in or near Virginia?
-
@sadie-mills Sure! Here are a couple of tips for you, @alley-b …
First, the geology of Virginia is broken up into 5 different provinces:
geology.blogs.wm.eduYou can find Cenozoic fossils (like shark teeth) in the Coastal Plain, and Paleozoic fossils (trilobites, crinoids, brachiopods) west of the Blue Ridge. The Piedmont province is a big chunk of the state, but it’s all Proterozoic metamorphic/igneous rock so you won’t find much of anything there.
Second, fossil hunting in Virginia is tricky because of the vegetation; it just loves to cling onto the ground, resist erosion, and cover everything up. So I usually find fossil sites in road cuts, unless you’re in the Coastal Plain where the rivers help expose fossils (as you already know, considering the fossils you’ve found).
Third, Fossil Collecting in the Mid-Atlantic States by Jasper Burns is a great book for Virginia fossil hunters. Most of the sites I’ve found come from that book, so I highly recommend tracking it down.
I hope that helps!

Thank you so much! You’re a wealth of information, and I am very appreciative!

@alley-b No problem! Glad to help!

Looks good. Any photos of the underside?

@Sadie-mills, is Messaging available in this app? I wanted to reach out to you about the scale bars and some upcoming events.

I’m really not sure… it kinda looks like it, but I think it’s a little too irregular for gator scute. I’m thinking it might be a stone in which some bivalves/sponges bore into?
